Life as a family of four

I’ve got a theory

Some kid is dreaming, and we’re all stuck inside his whacky Broadway nightmare…

Anyone get the reference? Heh. Don’t be ashamed if you don’t, even Clark didn’t.

No really, I’ve got a theory about why Clark isn’t showing yet, even though she’s now 17 weeks. It seems that lots of other people are at the same stage or earlier, and look obviously pregnant, whereas Clark really doesn’t yet.

I was thinking that maybe it’s because she’s been training for the last 12 or so months, she’s developed some pretty decent ab muscles. Is the uterus being held in by the muscles? Will they suddenly loosen one day, and her belly will pop right out all of a sudden?

She’s been experiencing a lot of pain in her lower abdomen, to the sides, which could just be ligaments stretching (as they always seem to mention in every pregnancy book), or could be ab muscles protesting at having to hold this overgrown grapefruit of a uterus in. It’s possible.

As an aside, I’m really jacked off with feeling constricted while blogging.

even though I am showing every week or two I have a day where I tell A. that I can tell there is a growth spurt happening. I wake up the next day – not noticeably bigger – but noticeably sore… SO I think your muscle theory is right. I predict a random crazy week where she pops out!
